Progress by Thanksgiving 2015.

The  building that was under attack has been taken down. Most of the wood is along side the fence in several locations. A shipping container was loaded the other day and probably on it's way overseas by now. They were working this morning and have been going 7 days a week.

When will they run out of shoes?

Last Fri. we were told that the person handling the mortgage claim took Wed., Thurs., and Fri. off leaving the paperwork on the desk. Now with Thanksgiving a few days away it looks like nothing will get done before next week. I'll have to call the movers again. They have already said we are the worst they have ever seen.
 The cable guy just left as they are trying to figure out what is messing up our service. A new mode-m and line to the phone pole this time. After service was resumed the first call was a robo call. It's back to normal.

Some progress.

I took a walk around the mill again to take some pictures of the demolition.

Another shoe hits the floor.

We signed another extension and the closing is set for Nov. 23. The buyers annuities are causing a lot of problems for the bank.
I called the movers and set them up for the two days after the closing and today they called back. They figure it will take 3 days now. The third day being  the 28th, Saturday. It looks like we will have to do some packing so they can get it done in two days.
Kaman is slowly disappearing. The amount of wood is amazing. Beams about 12" x 18" x long are coming out. They are working on the roof taking that apart now . 7 or 8 people just removing nails.

Progress Moosup style.

The tear down of the old mill continues. Picture 4 answers the age old question "what did they use before re-bar"? Why re-pipe of course, The elbow had to be an extra cost item. All of the cement fence posts have split.

Nothing left.

While waiting for the next closing date, probably end of month, we have gotten rid of everything that's not coming with us in the house. The garage is all but empty. I've been pulling nails I used for hanging stuff on and pounding in nails that have worked loose over the years. The toilet is the latest item to act up after the microwave crapping out. I'm having a new flush valve installed today. The more I look around the more I find to fix. The grass is growing in spots and needed mowing this week.

Getting close.

 Everytime I figure there is one more load to bring to the dump I find a bunch more stuff.  Today I took the bench grinder, drill press, wood lathe, vise and belt sander off the table in the basement. Then I popped the formica off the particle board and put the board in the to go pile. We cut the formica so it will replace the marble top in the dining room. Then I started to remove the stuff from the computer desk. After cleaning the drawers I moved the Sony record player off the table up stairs and brought the table down into the computer room. I slid the computer stuff off the desk onto the table. I found my missing WiFi radio. It's playing again. I found that the desk is a lot heavier than I figured. I removed the drawers and it was still too heavy so I got a pry bar and took the top off. After carrying the pieces into the garage I vacuumed the sawdust and we're back in business. The neighbor is supposed to take the futons tomorrow. That should be the last load of any consequence.
